Section 2 Introduction
2.1
Scope of application
This product is used in combination with either the VM-21G Signal Conditioner Socket, or the
VM-21H Backplane Unit (sold separately), and receives signals from a 3-WIRE LVDT SIGNAL
CONDITIONER (LVDT), and converts them to insulated 4 to 20mA DC or 1 to 5V DC.
Do not use for any other purposes.

*1 Abnormal condition
• When there is an abnormality in the LVDT or signal cable (breaking in LVDT wiring, breaking or short circuit in signal cable).
• When there is an abnormality in LVDT excitation output (oscillation has stopped).
Input LVDT
LS Series
Measuring Range
See Model Code above
Output (isolated)
1 to 5VDC (output resistance: 250
Ω
) or 4 to 20mADC (permissible load resistance: 600
Ω
or less)
I/O Conversion Accuracy
±1% of F.S. at 25°C, ±2% of F.S. at 0 to 50°C
Deviation from an ideal linear output of voltage or current in combination with LS Series LVDT.
However, when measuring range and full range of input LVDT are the same.
Response Speed
τ
=45ms, 90% response
Polarity
Can be changed by wiring
Burn-down Function
*1
Detects transducer failure and causes the 4 to 20mADC (1 to 5VDC) output to go to less than
0.8mADC (0.2VDC).
T.P. Output (test point
output for confirmation null
point)
Output 0V when core position is on Null point.
Output impedance: 100
Ω
Output for LVDT Excitation
Voltage: 5Vrms, Frequency: 3kHz, Max. current: 50mA, Sine wave
Supply Permissible Voltage 24VDC±10% or 85 to 264VAC/DC (50/60Hz)
Power Consumption
24VDC: 3.5W, 100-240VDC: 3.5W, 100-240VAC: 10VA
Insulation Resistance
100 M
